Description

For sample adults who had used a special diet during the past 12 months (DITATKINYR, DITMACYR, DITORNYR, DITPRITYR, DITSBYR, DITVEGYR, or DITZONYR), DITUSRELREC indicates whether they had used a special diet because "it was recommended by family, friends, or co-workers."

Other reasons for using a special diet that were recorded by the survey, and the associated IHIS variables, are:

• DITUSHCREC (Health care provider recommended)

• DITUSENERGY (Enhanced energy)

• DITUSINTER (Interesting to try)

• DITUSMEDCOST (Medical treatments expensive)

• DITUSMEDFAIL (Medical treatment not help)

• DITUSCOMBO (Helps combined w. conventional med)

• DITUSIMMUN (Improved immune function)
